The report reveals that during the first half of the year, digital payments grew by 21 percent y/y in terms of transaction volume.

Other verticals showing remarkable growth included digital custody (36 percent), digital asset exchange (33 percent), digital savings (26 percent), and WealthTech (24 percent).

According to Statista, the total transaction value in digital payments is projected to grow at 23.7 percent in 2020 to reach $4.93 trillion. The number of digital payment users is forecast to increase by 10.1 percent y/y to reach 3.47 billion in 2020.

In the period between 2020 and 2024, it is set to grow at a 13.4 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach $8.17 trillion by 2024.
